No Internet on Firestick w EX6120 or 7300

This is a strange problem.  Firestick connects OK with Internet on Router 2.4 or 5.0

 

Have 2 NetGear Extenders, EX6120 and EX7300. Firestick connects to network but will not connect with Internet through either of the Extenders. Many other devices, including a Fire TV, will connect with Internet through either extender. Firestick shows very strong signal strength for both extenders. Have tried various extender configurations and restarting Firestick and Network with no success.  

 

Suggestions will be appreciated.

What modem do you have? 

What router are they connecting to? 

Did you setup the extenders using wps or using the installation assistant? 

Are you using any special characters/spaces in your ssid/password? (if so, remove them)

Firestick connects OK directly to Gateway. PWs for Extender Nets are same as Gateway Nets. Here is example    T3Batsarecrazy250


Other suggestions?

Thanks much

Did you try setting the extenders up using the installation assistsant? I'd give that a shot.

Not going to go through assstant at this point. I may have used it though because I set the extenders to static IP. Do you think it could have anyting to do with me assiging static IPs to the extenders?


I am ordering a 2cnd Firestick for another TV in next few weeks. When it comes in I will see if it will connct through Extenders. I will take it from there.

 

Thanks for your help
